StepStone Group Inc. stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on Jul 13, 2026)
The StepStone Group Inc. stock price fell by -0.349% on the last day (Monday, 13th Jul 2026) from $42.96 to $42.81. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.11% from a day low at $42.22 to a day high of $43.11. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 8.27% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 219 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 888 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $38.00 million.
The stock lies in the middle of a wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -26.00% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $27.31 and $33.88 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
STEP Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, June 26, 2026, and so far it has risen 8.27%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The StepStone Group Inc. stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $42.85 and $45.04. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for StepStone Group Inc. stock
StepStone Group Inc. finds support from accumulated volume at $41.13 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.89 between high and low, or 2.11%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.14%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $41.30 (-3.53%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 10 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (STEP) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 14th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 14th we expect StepStone Group Inc. to open at $42.71, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $41.63 and $43.99, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.36 (+/-5.66%) up or down from last closing price. If StepStone Group Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.66% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $43.63 (1.92%) than the support at $41.13 (3.92%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
